Install and run
===============
Sausagewiki aims to be simple to get up and running. It is distributed as a
single independent executable for Linux:
1. Download the latest build of `sausagewiki.tar.xz` from <https://github.com/maghoff/sausagewiki/releases/latest>
2. Decompress: `tar Jxf sausagewiki.tar.xz`, it decompresses to the single
Linux executable `sausagewiki`
3. Run: `./sausagewiki wiki.db`
For a more permanent installation, you could [install Sausagewiki as a systemd
service](https://github.com/maghoff/sausagewiki/wiki/System-wide-installation-with-systemd).
Alternative installation methods include the following:
**Build from source** with `cargo build --release`, producing the binary as
`target/release/sausagewiki`. This requires you to have a working installation
of [rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/).
**Install with [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/)** on OS X/macOS:
`brew install --HEAD https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maghoff/sausagewiki/master/deploy/sausagewiki.rb`
(Some users are hitting [rust issue #39870](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/39870)
with this brew formula, even though it is supposed to have been fixed)

Sausagewiki will create an SQLite database file with the filename given in the
`DATABASE` parameter and open an HTTP server bound to the configured address,
`<address>:<port>`.
